We believe that our Higher Power will take care of us.

We all have times when it seems as though our lives are falling apart. There are days, or even weeks, when it seems that everything that can go wrong is going wrong. Whether its the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, or the end of a relationship, we doubt that well survive the changes taking place in our lives.
Its during the times when the world is crashing down around our ears that we find our greatest faith in a loving Higher Power. No human being could relieve our suffering; we know that only Gods care can provide the comfort we seek. We feel broken but we go on, knowing that our lives will be repaired.
As we progress in our recovery and our faith in our Higher Power grows, we are sure to greet the difficult times with a sense of hope, despite the pain we may be in. We need not despair, for we know that our Higher Powers care will carry us through when we cant walk on our own.

Just for today: I will rely on God's care through the painful times, knowing that my Higher Power will always be there.

......''As we progress in our recovery and our faith in our Higher Power grows, we are sure to greet the difficult times with a sense of hope,'' .....I find it easy to stop,,surrender and pray when things are tough!
....the trick is to 'pick up the phone' when things are going well,too........not so easy to remember to remember my HP or sponsor then!

I have had a period of about a month or so that a lot of my life is falling apart. Family dying hurts , then fighting over last possessions makes life difficult , Rather than getting mad I left , I do not like the blame game .I an glad I have God and the Higher Power in my corner to guide me in the right direction through all of this .I pray for the help I need.

mikah , Don't worry , I'm ok , it is better to voice your feeling than keep them locked up . I'll survive , me and my sister are both adopted and I got thrown out of the house when I was 17 , I'll be 61 in June .I survived for many years and know how difficult life can be .I caused a lot of my problems but got in NA and have been getting better day buy day .
